I might as well add another M9 thread.
M9+ steamy cup of java= nice, really nice.

...on whether the photo of said M9 and coffee were taken with another M9 and an extremely expensive optic - say, a Noctilux...

"ooh, look how the leatherette and the coffee steam just blend into the lush bokeh while the clarity of the straplug almost scrapes your retinas"

...or a CL-D with a panaleica kit lens in plastic gold finish...

"oh dear, where has the shallow depth of field gone, where are the intangible nuances that the finest prime lenses known to mankind impart, where is subtle blend of tones that only algorithms handcrafted in Solms can extract?"

I sspect that if I dropped my M2 into the coffee, quickly fished it out, shook it, and wiped it off with my shirt tail I could continue to finish the roll. Do that with your M9 and you'll still be crying at Christmas. I buy my mugs at Goodwill so they look good with my Leicas.

I don't think so, Al. The M9 likely won't take film -- not that a Prius-like hybrid wouldn't find some supporters here.

Don't let the M9 get too close to the hot coffee. The heat will increase the sensor's noise level. In addition to the usual IR/UVa filter, you should also protect it with a caffeine filter.

fwiw...not only would hot cup of cofee look good beside an m9, it would make a fantastic companion for an m9.

um, um good!!

Invisible. I have it on good authority that it has no weathersealling so it is hydrophobic. ;)

Of course it will! Everyone should get one to look good at a coffee shop... If you guys need some funds to cheap in a M9 I will gladly buy your old, unstylish and uncool M8s, MPs, M2s, M4s and M6s for dirt cheap. I love new releases from Leica :=)

C'mon, post #3481 and you're posting pointless topics like this? The M9, which doesn't yet exist looks better in the trash, along with this thread, please. I'm not trolling, but c'mon, do we need this thread along with all the other wasteful threads? I remember this forum was full of quality....

I guess some folks really have nothing useful to say, or else too much time on their hands, so they make up these stupid threads. I can not believe that I'm posting on a dumb thread like this:bang:

However, to get back on topic, I think the M9 and M8 would look just fine IN a pot of really hot coffee:D

I'm sure the M9 will look great next to anything, even a cup of coffee. :D

There you go. Yes, it does. Mods, lock it!

As expensive as the M9 will be, the cup of coffee will be in a foam cup. From a homeless shelter. ;)

I wonder if Leica will bundle the M9 with a free cup of coffee?
